Pretending Veracity, History Winks
Pretending veracity, history winks
to let us know we can't know
history, having not been there,
and having been, been
incapable of any but our own
small point of view.
Mosaics are a trick of the eye, seeming,
in their artful brokenness, complete.

Nice one.*
You always come up with something I never thought about before. I never see it coming. It's quite a talent! *
Once again, perception and affect theory in a nutshell.
Very well done Gary, I esp loved
'Mosaics are a trick of the eye, seeming,
in their artful brokenness, complete.' Perfect!*
"artful brokenness"
Nice!
Marvelous opening lines, Gary:
"Pretending veracity, history winks
to let us know we can't know
history"
Good punch with this piece. I like.
What a great rhythm here. Really enjoy reciting this to myself.
Nice *
I love the way it opens, great feel throughout *
Thanks to everyone for the generosity of response.
